Love the One You're With


I recently picked up another chick-lit book called Love the One You're With by Emily Griffin.
Ellen has recently married her best friends brother Andy and they have a perfect marriage. They live in New York City and Ellen loves it there. She is a budding photographer and is loving life, that is until she bumps into an ex-boyfriend, Leo. Their relationship was intense and one in which Ellen looses who she is as a person, and when it ended, left her heartbroken.

Ellen and Leo pass in the street and Ellen ducks into a restaurant. Leo calls her on her cell phone asking if it was her he just passed. He meets up with her and Ellen realizes that she still has feelings for him. She knows she loves her husband and is confused about these overwhelming feelings. Leo sets up the shoot of a lifetime for her, but it is across the country and when she shows up, Leo is there too. Did Ellen end up with the life she was meant to have or was she supposed to wait for Leo?

The plot of this book is "the one that got away" and "what if". If you like Nicholas Sparks, you'd probably like this book. I found it predictable, Ellen wishy-washy and the characters ones that you really just don't care about. I got this book on cd and it put me right to sleep.

I give this a 1 out of 5
